While creating my Fiber Amulet Bag Kit I tried new ideas to come up with Fringe Design. I used mainly beads and buttons to adorn the fringe and seed beads to sew down the fringe.
After attending a Prescott Fine Arts Show I saw several woven pieces marked created from recycled yarn. I had a knitted silk sweater which I did not wear so I took it apart and realized two things.
1. It take a lot of hours and if you have an abundance of time and you want to recycle yarn, taking a sweater apart that is fine idea.
2. It is worth it to get the curly yarn for adornment. I wouldn't want to make a large project using recycled yarn because you can find such good deals at most of the fiber shops. But, to get a curly yarn this is a great sourse. If you are a doll maker think about doing this for the hair. If you like fancy fringe this is also a great idea. http://rowenaart.net/store/login.php
